The Lost Boys Page #2

The Attendant gives Lucy five dollars in change. She

hands it to Sam, indicating the Two Runaways.

LUCY:

Tell them to get something to eat.

SAM:

I thought we were poor.

LUCY:

Not that poor.

Sam runs off as Michael starts his prize possession.

LUCY:

Still mad at me?

MICHAEL:

For what.

LUCY:

For everything.

Michael can't deal with this and just roars his engine.

LUCY:

If you want to check it out and

meet us later it's okay.

Sam returns, having heard this.

SAM:

What!? He can and I can't?! No

fair!!

MICHAEL:

That's okay, Mom. I can see it

later. I'll help you unload.

Lucy seems pleasantly surprised by Michael's display of

responsibility. She and Sam get in the Rover as the

Runaways shout to them.

RUNAWAY:

Hey, thanks, lady.

LUCY:

(to Runaways)

Use some of it to call home.

(to Sam as they

pull out)

Those kids look like me twenty

years ago.

SAM:

When you ran away from home, hitch-

hiked to Berkeley, spent the night

in Golden Gate Park and begged for

spare change in the morning?

LUCY:

You've heard this story before?

SAM:

So many times, I'm starting to

think it happened to me.

11 EXT. GRANDPA'S HOUSE - DAY 11

A long winding road leads to the old lodge-like funky

house. The Land Rover pulls up followed by Michael on

his motorbike.

GRANDPA, a rugged individualist wearing old denims,

Indian moccasins, long grey braid down his back, is a

lifeless form on the front porch. Lucy and sons approach.

MICHAEL:

He looks dead.

LUCY:

He's just a deep sleeper.

MICHAEL:

He's not breathing, Mom.

Lucy becomes concerned as she feels his head.

SAM:

If he's dead can we move back to

Phoenix?

Before Lucy and Michael can belt Sam, Grandpa opens his

mischievous eyes.

GRANDPA:

Playin' dead... and from what I

heard, doin; a damn good job of

it, too.

Michael and Sam exchange weird looks as Lucy hugs her

father.

12 INT. GRANDPA'S LIVING ROOM - DAY 12

Large, lodge-like; funky leather furniture and Indian

blankets. Michael carries in his BARBELLS while Sam

struggles with his MAMMOTH COLLECTION OF COMIC BOOKS.

MICHAEL:

This is kind of a cool place.

SAM:

(deadpan)

I'm so excited I just can't hide

it. I'm about to lode control and

I think I like it.

MICHAEL:

Will you give Mom a break?

Sam follows Michael into the...

13 KITCHEN 13

As Michael, about to put his barbells down on back porch,

pumps a few times for good measure.

SAM:

Grandpa does not own a T.V. Have

you noticed? There's no T.V.

Santa Carla has no malls, no

Cineplexes and now I won't even

have MTV. I will not know anything

hip happening anymore.
